Chapter 39 Submit the War Letter

I forgot to count the Hungarian army, but in fact, the Norman Union is 250,000.

Egil could not have imagined that the cunning mercenary leader who had slaughtered himself in the war of the Eastern Roman invasion and then ran away calmly, changed his appearance a few years later and became the number one enemy of the Norman Empire and the highest military commander of the Roman Catholic Church. This is really a coincidence.

"Okay, let that bastard pay the interest well." After receiving the report from Norman spy, Egil snorted coldly and said. Everyone sitting there had participated in the war. It seemed to be Governor Witt, and he was even following Egil at that time. He had seen the entire process of confrontation with the famous Eastern Roman general Narcis, and the mercenary leader Harold. Although Egil won the final victory, the performance of these two commanders was still remarkable.

"That is a smart, cunning and cruel opponent. In the hands of this opponent, there is a total of 80,000 troops. It seems that we are facing a big battle. Everyone." After introducing the situation, Egil said such words.

"Where, compared with your Majesty, the other party is just a little unknown little. Even if you know some tricks, you are just a little bit in front of your Majesty's strange plan.

The child's nonsense is just a joke." Next to Egil, Duke Francisco of Milan spoke like this, and smiled flatteringly, making the nobles of aristocrats around him feel disgusted. He cursed in his heart: "What a nouveau riche from a muddy child, so shameless,..." "Ha, hehe. Let's talk about this after he defeated." Egil smiled slightly and waved his hand. However, he was reserved and did not accept the compliment. However, in the view of Francisco on the opposite side, the emperor was not unhappy about his words. In other words, the flattering words he said,

The emperor was still willing to listen. He couldn't help but be more happy. The more he said flattering words, the more fluent he made the nobles around him despise him more and also made Egil happier.

"Okay. Although I will win this war, this topic will end here." After a while, Egil heard enough, he reached out to stop Francesco and said: "The whole army is ready to rest for three days. Build a camp and launch an attack on the fourth day."

Hearing Egil say this, the Norman generals around him took the order, and the vassal nobles nodded. However, the Hungarian king Attila opened his mouth and asked, "His Majesty Egil, should we give the other party a letter of war first and notify the other party of the set time?"

After hearing Attila's words, Egil remembered that there was still such a thing in the European war. Before the war, the two sides agreed on time and place. This was decent enough. In recent times, he either fought with nomadic gangsters in Eastern Europe or fought with pagan barbarians in holy places. This set of rules that belong to "civilized people" have almost forgotten. In this war, when he marched into southern Italy, a battle with Bavaria did not go through this process. He directly bombarded artillery, and then the super spear square array came over.

Speaking of which, in the eyes of Europeans, this situation is similar to fighting without declaration. It is a shameless act that consumes character.

Of course, since Emperor Egil is the one who does this, it's a different matter.

"Hahahahahaha..." At that time, Egil was stunned for two seconds after hearing Attila's proposal and then couldn't help laughing, while laughing, slapped Attila's shoulder with great strength.

He smiled and said to him, "I didn't expect that everyone said that the Hungarians were barbaric and uncivilized. However, today I know that the rumor was wrong when you look at your performance. You are more polite than everyone here." After saying this, Attila saw that the eyes of the people around him became very unfriendly. He knew that he was saying the wrong thing and offended people.

If he offended others, he was not afraid, but if he offended Emperor Norman, then the country of Hungary might become a historical term.

When I thought of this, Attila almost knelt down to Egier. She didn't dare to answer and didn't know what to say. Lu smiled, but it was even worse than crying. Egier sighed secretly, thinking: What he did was just a prank. Say something in his words and just pretended to be fun, and there was no intention of blaming Attila. However, that's it, this king who once spread across Europe and was a great man of a generation was also scared by Egier.

"Hero's a stern curtain." Egil looked at Attila who looked timid in front of him, and these four words popped out of his heart. He looked at him with a little pity. At the same time, Egil fully felt the prosperity of his power. As the emperor of the empire, he teased the king of another kingdom for a few words, and actually scared the other party like this. This is simply...

"Just do what you said, Attila, my friend, thank you for your reminder on this issue." After Egil finished speaking, he stood up and owed a little to Attila.

"Ah, what Your Majesty said is really serious!" Seeing Egil's attitude, Attila hurriedly returned the salutes. At this moment, the shouts of a Norman Guard Knight came from outside.

"Your Majesty! Responsibility, the envoy of the Holy See came with the letter of war!"

Egil had just finished saying this, and Talleyran, the secretary beside him, respectfully brought paper and pen, ready to listen to the emperor's oral narrative and write the war book. When the war book was just halfway through, the crowd heard such a voice.

"Ah?" Egil felt a little strange when he heard the other party say this, and asked the knight of the guard again: "Have you asked clearly? The other party is really a messenger of the Holy See?"

"Clear, lord." The knight lowered his head and stroked Xiong, bowed, and then replied in a simple and clear manner.

"This is a bit strange." Egil was a little unaware that the other party was clearly at a disadvantage. According to Egil's idea, he should be sticking to the camp and waiting for the attack. He submitted the letter of war, but whether the other party accepted it or not was still a matter of whether the other party accepted it. However, the other party took the initiative to submit the letter of war. What's going on? Is it a decoration for Norman's 250,000 coalition forces? Or do I think I can do it for 1ps?

When the other party's messenger came in, saluted respectfully, greeted him in Latin, and acted like a real noble gentleman, Egil really wanted to ask him what his commander, the cunning mercenary leader, Harold, thought? Also, why did his immediate boss, Gregory VII of the Holy See listen to his ideas?

However, Egil did not say this column. Because asking such a question will never get an answer, it will only be ridiculed. Moreover, Egil asked himself that with his own wisdom, he could get his own answer.

However, the scene still needs to be said. Egil opened his mouth and spoke not in Latin, but in Norman. This made the messenger on the opposite side frown slightly. It was not that he couldn't understand, but that Egil spoke too "barbaric." In the heart of this traditional nobleman, only Latin is the most orthodox. If the other party didn't, it would be fine. But before that, the messenger had already heard of Egil's "talent" in language.

"Is this an insult to me?" After thinking about this, the Roman envoy was a little unhappy. In fact, what Egil said did indeed have a little insulting nature, but the insult was not him, but the other party's commander Harold.

"Your Excellency Harold, the commander of your side, has a relationship with me. It is not what I want to see in such a sword and war. After all, he is also my people." Egil spoke very politely, but there were swords between the lines. Harold is also a Nordic Norman race. If the words "my people" are said, they can make the other party three points shorter.

However, the other party could be selected to send a message. Other skills may be a little worse, but he was absolutely very polite. After Egil said this, he replied politely: "Everyone is God's people. In God's eyes, everyone is his innocent child, and there is no difference." The messenger said this, but he put aside the secular relationship between Egil's subjects and directly pulled Jehovah and became a tiger skin. However, the opponent he chose was too bad. Egil took the next sentence without thinking: "The noble envoy said it well. How is the difference between the Pope in God's eyes and ordinary people?" He choked the other party to death.

Then, Egil no longer had the interest in playing a maneuver with this little corner. With a wave of his hand, the guard knight snatched the letter from his hand. After Egil nodded and signaled, he took it apart, carefully checked it, and then handed it over to Egil.

"After a day?" Egil couldn't help laughing again when he saw the letter. A few days after he said it, it was because the army crossed the Alps, which was exhausted severely and required a certain amount of time to rest. However, the other party seemed to not want to give him this opportunity.

"If your Majesty is afraid, you can ignore it., the envoy opposite said immediately.

"Will I be afraid?" Egil heard him say this, as if he had heard some joke. After a sneer, he threw the war book on the ground and said to the messenger: "I have agreed! Go back and tell Harold that in three days I will divide the battle with him and on the battlefield! Let him enjoy the few remaining lives!"!
